Welcome to our Department’s website!

Northeastern University is an integral part of the city of Boston. The students, faculty and staff play a vital role in helping shape the character of the community.

While Boston presents unlimited opportunities to experience the advantages of life in a world-class city, we must keep in mind that the potential for crime does exist. Each of us must assume a personal responsibility by taking precautions to prevent ourselves from becoming a victim.

The men and women of the Northeastern University Police Department are dedicated to maintaining the campus as a safe and pleasant place in which to live, work, and study. However, a truly safe campus can only be achieved through the cooperation of all students, faculty and staff.

The information provided on this website is designed to inform, advise and alert the campus community of the current programs, policies, and procedures related to crime awareness, prevention, and reporting at Northeastern University.

I urge you to take the time to review the services available to you.

Thank You

Michael A. Davis - Chief of Police
